Patch Cable Draka Comteq TM31 10m

The Draka Comteq TM31 10m Patch Cable is a Cat6a Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed wired networks. At 10 metres length with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports fast data transfer between routers, switches, computers and other network devices. The cable’s red jacket provides visual identification in patch panels and structured cabling runs while maintaining standard Cat6a electrical characteristics for reliable signal performance.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable is designed to deliver up to 10 Gigabit-class performance over short to medium distances, with shielding and pair construction that reduce crosstalk and external interference. The molded RJ-45 plugs ensure secure, low-loss connections and strain relief at the connector interface. The 10 m length offers flexibility for equipment placement without compromising cable management, and the coloured sheath simplifies identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, servers and network switches in offices and server rooms
• Linking network equipment in home entertainment systems and smart-home hubs
• Patch panel-to-switch connections in structured cabling installations
• Temporary or permanent wired links for VoIP phones, IP cameras and access points

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Red
• Supported data rates: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances
• Construction: twisted pairs with shielding and molded connector housings for strain relief

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radius recommended for Cat6a cabling to preserve signal integrity. For installations through cable trays or inside walls, follow local standards and safety regulations. When disconnecting, press the connector latch to release the cable rather than pulling on the sheath.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a patch cable for in-room and rack-mounted connections where 10 m reach is required. Separate power and high-interference sources from the cable run, and label both ends if used in multi-cable assemblies to simplify maintenance. Replace the cable if connectors or sheath show physical damage that may affect performance.
